So, I found this recipe online tonight, and I just
happened to have the ingredients. So why not try it?
1 package Jet-Puff toasted-coconut marshmallows cut in half.
1 box of your favorite chocolate cake mix prepared per package
directions.
Spread marshmallows, cut side down, on the bottom of a
non-stick-sprayed (9x13 inch) glass baking dish. Pour batter over the
marshmallows and bake per the package directions. The marshmallows will come to
the top forming a glaze or frosting!
Yes, I admit for some reason or another there was a cake
mix in my pantry. It probably stumbled into the house by accident. I probably
got it for next to nothing or free with the purchase of something else. I don’t
really remember!
Anyway, long story short. This recipe is easy. However,
the glaze I was promised did not appear on my cake. I would have tried to turn
it out but it proved impossible.
I thought, “oh well, I will just ice it…” The problem is,
I haven’t made a box cake in I don’t know how long. It is much lighter in
texture than most cakes I like to deal with. The result was cakeicide… I
killed it. It tore up. It’s really ugly, but it tastes pretty good.
No, I didn't take a picture of the crime scene. It’s
better left forgotten!
You might want to try it. You may have better luck than I
did… Then, you can tell me what the heck I did wrong!
